    One is probably pretty straightforward for some here, a small black spatula-thing, having only a few specimens in the area, about 3-5 cm high.

    Other is very curious, some quite small tube-things growing in the rotting flesh (pretty far gone) probably of a short-stalked Russula. The tubes were about 5-7 mm long and appeared to be hollow at one end. Possibly they had a long way to go in their program, will check them out in a few days to see how they're doing.

    Okay, great, thanks! 1/2 it is! Mushroom expert it seems likes to say things are more complicated. So with this one. On the one hand, nigritum seems perfectly fitting, on the other, one needs to reach for the microscope to settle it completely. Oh well. Characteristics are as described so no need to fiddle for complications for me.
